Summary

When representing clients with pre-existing injuries or medical conditions, it is crucial to understand the Eggshell Plaintiff rule and develop effective strategies to navigate the inherent complexities involved in these cases. This session will explore California’s Eggshell Plaintiff rule which ensures that the defendant is fully responsible for all the harm caused – even if your plaintiff’s particular condition made them more susceptible to injury than the average person. By acknowledging the pre-existing condition and focusing on causation and aggravation, staff can assist their attorneys in building strong cases. Embracing the eggshell plaintiff will also assist in avoiding surprises in litigation.
